No one can honestly say that Kim Kardashian's divorce to Kris Humphries hasn't been ugly, but things took a definite turn for the worst when Jonathan Cheban supposedly got involved.

The fame publicist allegedly was gearing up to sue Kris for defamation after calling his sexuality into question ON CAMERA! As Jon is someone who likes to keep his private life as such, he was apparently quite upset by this slanderous act and was supposedly ready to take immediate action to hit Kris where it hurts : his $$$.

But now, we have learned from an EXCLUSIVE source that NONE of this is true. In fact, the whole ordeal was apparently a complete fabrication.

We have this EXCLUSIVE statement from Jonathan Cheban as released thru his rep, saying:

"I have no intentions of pursuing legal action with Kris Humphries, nor haveI ever. I wish him the best of luck."

Everyone take note. You won't this again. This is someone taking the HIGH ROAD.

How would you sue anyone for asking/assuming you're gay ? 1. You are gay. 2. Everyone thought/knew you were gay before Kris asked you if you were. 3. If you didn't want that part of the show to air, then why didn't you ask your "best friend" Kim KarTRASHian or her pimp/mother to have it edited out of the show ? Kris KarTRAHIAN-Jenner is an "executive producer" on the show, after all.

It was obviously a stunt, if he had an issue with it he would sue E! for airing/ editing it. Do the Kardashian camp honestly think everyone is stupid! Like Kim's 'humanitarian' trip to Haiti it is just insulting that they assume that we are all dumb!

HA, more like the krapdashians saying shutttt upppp.after all kim tried to insinuate that kris was gay because he wasn't after her all the tim for sex…yeh just keep the laughs coming..you all just keep digging your graves deeper…TEAM KRIS HUMPHRIES ALL THE WAY .. oh yeh and jonathan we all know your gay….

It really disgusts me when people think being gay could be somehow shameful. A lawsuit like this would just reinforce that idea.
But anyway….if the story was false from the outset - which is odd as it took so long to be denied then that means you published a fake story that actually got this Cheban guy attacked on the street.

Well it tookhim long enough to speak up! Does he live under a rock or perhaps was he enjoying the extra media attention seeing as he is unveiling a new jewllery line? Hmm which could it be?? . . . Or maybe he realized hed never win the lawsuit seeing as most people have never heard of him and those that have think he is gay so Kris saying it really didnt "taarnish" his image.

Wow.. the act of NOT suing someone is 'taking the high road'? He obviously was intending to (or SAID he was intending to) and then decided against it after the backlash. Sorry KK but everyone is team humphries… The only reason your ratings kill it, is because its like watching a fucking train wreck… its a horrible fucking site.. but you can't look away..

Why is it considered "slanderous" to be called gay?????…..this is as stupid as when Liberace sued a tabloid back in the day for saying he was gay…..and won…LOL..Anyways..who the fuck is Jonathan Cheban?..I've only seen small bits of him on The Soup…I think he was telling a pretty young girl to get botox because he thought she was ugly. I can see why he and Kim would be good friends…vain, shallow pieces of shit tend to run in pairs and /or groups.
